HASBRO BLACK SERIES CUSTOM DISPLAY BASE FOR SANDTROOPER FIGURINES.
I took the plunge this year to get another hobby going, creating bespoke custom bases for displaying the awesome Black Series Hasbro Star Wars Sandtrooper figures for private collectors.
I've only really started using silicone and polyurethane resin so its been a great learning experience to see how you can create something from scratch and actually produce something in fast cast resin.I first created the base which is the same circumference or close to a Heinz baked bean tin.The first base was more of a test but came out 10 times better than I expected, once base coated and painted it held the Sandtrooper figure perfectly.
The second project was a bit larger, I decided that a two man display base might be a good idea with added battle scarring, scorched earth effects. ( yeah, I'm aware it looks a bit like a puddle of vomit) Adding the detail of the base I used a mixture of plaster fragments, old plastic model kit bits and stones to simulate natural strata and texture to the base. The base is a Tatooine concept so a good contrasting design is needed for the detailing that the silicone mold would pick up when I cast them in resin.
Two foot pegs were added to the base, one on each side so that when the resin is cast collectors can use the foot hole in the base of the figure.
Each base is custom painted with a dry brushing effect to further accentuate the natural look and the finished result is a cool two man patrol diorama on Tatooine.
